Description

HCMIA16 indicates whether the woman reported a public accredited social health activist (ASHA) as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to India.

Some samples in the "HCM" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

HCMIA16 is combined with HCMIA17 (other community-based worker) in HCMPUBFW (all public fieldworkers) for the 2019 India sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMIA16 are encouraged to review HCMPUBFW for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

HCMIA16 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question on known sources for male condoms is included in the standard DHS questionnaire in Phases III forward.

Although HCMIA16 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in HCMPUBFW, a variable that encompasses all public fieldworkers as sources of male condoms. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of HCMIA16 or the Comparability tab of HCMPUBFW for more information on the specific categories combined for India 2019.
